This is where headcanon [1] can be a lot of fun. Just accept that they really did fight a war. It's not like it doesn't particularly fit the milieu... [1]: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/words-were-watching...

Imagination is not an English word. It’s a borrow word from Old French, because there was no existing English word for that meaning.

Your move.

Could be. In SnowCrash, I think there were some subplots talking about the fighting was somewhat real between franchises. And you could become a citizen of a franchise state.

I could see being a citizen of CosaNostra Pizza.

I’d make a pretty good deliverator.

> Did ChainPatrol have to file an actual DMCA takedown notice to take down 3Blue1Brown's video? Probably not. Youtube has their own system which is not DMCA claim based.

Sounds like he got a copyright strike, which means a DMCA takedown, not a Content ID claim. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7002106

> not a Content ID claim.

That is my understanding too. We do not have a disagreement on that.

> he got a copyright strike, which means a DMCA takedown

Here is where we disagree. A youtube copyright notice / copyright strike is not the same as a DMCA takedown.

The DMCA takedown process as described in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Title II. Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act provides more rights for the content owner whose work got maliciously or mistakenly taken down. They have access to a counter notification process and §512(f) makes those who knowingly materially misrepresent content as infringing liable for damages. You don't have the same rights and affordances with the youtube copyright notification system.

It is similar. If you squint it looks the same. But it is not the same.

This is not just an information preservation problem. It's a problem with the creators who depend on YouTube ad revenue to fund to create content like this suddenly and unpredictably losing that revenue stream.

You cannot depend on Youtube ad revenue to survive, as it can be taken away at any time.

Restating that the arrangement is crap doesn't make it not crap.

The year is 2030. After the AI bot wars, FaceBook and Google have been crippled. They let AI automation control their content and it was deleted after OpenAI GPT10 discovered vulnerabilities in automated copyright strikes. Taco Bell won the franchise war and is the only restaurant remaining.

Pizza Hut outside the US

Taco Bell in NZ. It was the first time I'd heard of it, though, and the movie is still probably the source of most of my knowledge of it.

And here the video: https://web.archive.org/web/20241116220152/https://www.youtu...

Wow, how does that work? Archive.org can't possibly archive every YouTube video, right?

They don't but if it is a popular video the likelyhood of it being archived increases. It is possible to submit URLs to archive.org manually too. Also the youtube videos downloaded by archiveteam volunteers[0] possibly end up in wayback machine though I'm not sure if it happens automatically anymore.

So the big-name channel gets a personal response. What about the many non-famous channels that ChainPatrol must have made false claims against? How many strikes or false claims does ChainPatrol get before they are permanently booted off YouTube and all their revenue streams get taken from them?

Wouldn't this mean that the only people able to make claims in the first place are people with $1M to spare? It might deter aggressive claims, but also prevent individuals from making claims on violations of their copyrights.

I think it's Finland where if the punishment for a crime is a fine, the fine scales with the income of the perpetrator. I like that system.

So you're saying that if I'm rich and I want to speed I hire a driver with no money and quietly cover the fine for him?

I've always wondered about this loophole in that system.
